Song lyrics

[El-P:]
Get a dose a dirty code to go, been cold since Co-Flow,
I got wire or two un-lodging, I'll set a fire down below,
I'll hang it up when you say, "Sorry, I didn't know",
prolly got a year or ten to go so let's go!
I don't really know how to go slow.

[Gangsta Boo:]
Just got done walking in the snow–

[El-P:]
God damn, that motherfuckers cold!
You in the wrong mode, you open and
closin' your hole it's a no go.
This whole worlds a shit moat filled to the brim like Gitmo,
When you think it don't get mo lo, it limbo til the sticks on flo.
All oppression's born of lies, I don't make the rules,
I'm just one guy,
All due respect if getting spit on's how respect is now defined.
Hungry for truth but you got screwed and drank
the Kool Aid, there's a line,
It end directly at the edge off a mass grave that's their design.
Funny fact about a cage: they're never built for just one group,
So when that cage is done with them and you
still poor, it come for you,
The newest lowest on the totem, well, golly gee,
you have been used,
You helped to fuel the death machine
that down the line will kill you too. (Oops)
Pseudo Christians, y'all indifferent?
Kids in prisons ain't a sin? Shit!
If even one scrap a what Jesus taught
connected, you'd feel different,
What a disingenuous way to piss away existence,
I don't get it, I'd say you lost your god damn
minds if y'all possessed one to begin with.

[Gangsta Boo:]
Just got done walking in the snow,
God damn, that motherfucker cold! [×4]
Yeah, hoe, Gangsta Boo, Run The Jewels,
we back on our shit and it's cold as fuck!

[Killer Mike:]
The way I see it you're probably freest from the ages 1 to 4,
Around the age of 5 you're shipped away for
your body to be stored,
They promise education but really they
give you tests and scores,
And they predicting prison population
by who scoring the lowest.
And usually the lowest scores the
poorest and they look like me,
And everyday on the evening news they feed you fear for free,
And you so numb you watch the cops choke out a man like me
Until my voice goes from a shriek to whisper "I can't breathe..."
And you sit there in house on couch and watch it on TV,
The most you give's a Twitter rant and call it a tragedy,
But truly the travesty,
You've been robbed of your empathy,
Replaced it with apathy,
I wish I could magically
Fast forward the future so then you can face it
and see how fucked up it'll be,
I promise I'm honest, they coming for you, the day
after they coming for me,
I'm reading Chomsky, I read Bukowski, I'm laying low for a week,
I said something on behalf of my people and
I popped up in Wikileaks.
Thank God, that I'm covered, the devil is smothered,
and you know the evil don't sleep,
Dick Gregory told me a couple of secrets before
he laid down in his grave:
All of us serve the same masters,
All of us nothing but slaves,
Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero
was killed by the state.

[Gangsta Boo:]
Just got done walking in the snow, God damn, that
motherfucker cold! [×4]

[Killer Mike:]
Who really wanna run it with the Jewel Runners?
Go hell fire hot in a new sauna,
It's cold winter, baby, and a cruel summer,
I suicide bomb in the blue Hummer
and emerge out the side not a bruise on 'em

[El-P:]
Bad new come in twos, son, do sumpin',
Treat beats like a wet thigh, chew on em,
Got a stroke row crew on em move on em.

[Killer Mike:]
We be the heroes, the breakers of chains
and the busters of locks,
You be them suckers the supporting them snitches
that talk to the cops.

[El-P:]
This the Illmatic of turning your face in to fucker foie gras,
I'm not so sure opportunities knocking, it's prolly the law.

[Killer Mike:]
Word to the old school tape decks,
I get Radio Raheem respect,
My Nike pendant sacred
similar to the Ghostface bracelet.

[El-P:]
Fire in the hole, oh no, joke! Prolly go broke just off smoke, fuck
are we gonna do not smoke? Get a job, play the role, be adults?
Nah, Ima do me, arigato!
